Donald Collins Jr., 46, of Freehold, went to the North District Police Station and filed an incident report against Macias, 60, the owner of Frank Macias Dental Laboratory on Central Avenue, after yesterday's incident, reports said.

Collins was filming Macias after the 1 p.m. court appearance in Jersey City when Macias jogged toward Collins and spit at him, reports said.

"I saw the spit coming toward me and I turned my face away - it was too late," Collins told police. "He caught the right corner of my lip, my right forearm and the front of my shirt and stomach," Collins said.
